Paul McDonald: Even Grandma Asked Me About Dating ‘Twilight’ Star

‘American Idol’ castoff tells MTV News he ‘can’t really get used to’ media interest in his relationship with Nikki Reed. By James Montgomery, with reporting by Rya Backer Paul McDonald Photo: MTV News Last week, Paul McDonald was sent packing from “American Idol.” This week, he’s opening up about his life on the show &#8212 saying he wasn’t “comfortable” doing covers &#8212 and, somewhat reluctantly, discussing his life off of it. Specifically, his relationship with “Twilight” star Nikki Reed, which has become the subject of endless media attention in recent weeks, and has only reached its peak now that McDonald’s off “Idol.” And while he’s not opposed to talking about Reed, McDonald told MTV News that he’ll probably never get used to doing so; the same goes for all of the attention the couple have been garnering, for that matter. “I mean, you can’t really get used to that, you know? It’s funny how, like, your personal life becomes such a crazy new thing,” he said. “I guess I kind of realized it when I talked to my grandma on the phone, she was like, ‘Who’s this new girl you’re dating?’ And I’m like, ‘How do you know about this, Grandma?’ And she’s like, ‘I got a magazine at the grocery store!’ I was like ‘Oh gosh, it’s started.’ I haven’t really gotten used to that … you can’t really get used to that stuff.” Still, he realizes that dealing with media attention is just part of his newfound fame; so, no, McDonald isn’t planning on shutting down any particularly salacious interviewers any time soon, but he’s also not going to pay attention to what they say if he does. “I don’t really get involved in the whole thing, you know? I don’t read too much stuff online. I get nervous because I don’t want to see what people are saying about me. So, I’m just doing my thing,” he smiled. “We’re good, we’re really good. She’s a sweet, nice lady, and she’s been supportive through all this stuff.” Don’t miss “Idol Party Live” every Thursday at noon on MTV.com for analysis, celebrity guests and even some karaoke — get in the conversation by tweeting with the hashtag #idolparty!

Congratulations: BET Orders 22 New Episodes Of “The Game”

No matter how disappointed you may have been with season four of “The Game,” you watched it religiously. And BET is rewarding your loyalty with a brand new – longer – season. BET, not surprisingly, has given its two recent scripted hits “The Game” and “Let’s Stay Together” new seasons, 22 episodes apiece. Both shows are shot in Atlanta and will begin production soon. “The Game,” a relationships comedy which was on the CW for three seasons but was canceled in 2009, found a new home last year on BET. There, the show debuted at a robust 7.7 million viewers and continued to draw 3 to 4 million viewers per new episode by season’s end. The original “Let’s Stay Together,” another relationship-based comedy, opened at 4.4 million but drifted down to around 2 million viewers per episode by season’s end. Relatively speaking, its retention of “The Game” audience was not that great but obviously good enough to keep around. Let’s just hope the writers get their sh*t together next season. Source

Courteney Cox on David Arquette Crotch: Boner Central!

Courteney Cox has handled her separation from David Arquette with impressive maturity, supporting the actor through tough times and admissions of sex with other women . Which is why we were a bit surprised to hear Cox join Arquette for a raunchy, in-depth interview with Howard Stern Thursday afternoon. She was asked about her ex-husband’s sexual appetite and said it actually contributed to their split. “Whenever I would need consoling from David, he could not literally put his arm around me for one second without completely getting a boner,” Cox said. Arquette defended himself by saying on air: “I’m always ready for [Courteney]. I know I’m more in touch with what she needs now…She takes one sort of thing and she clumps it [and says] that’s what happens all the time in our relationship. It’s not really true.” Is there for a future for this couple? It does sound that way, as Cox insists she hasn’t slept with anyone since they took a break and added: “The truth of the matter is that we love each other so much. We have such affection for each other but we are very different.”

Oprah To Charge $1 Million For Commercial On Show Finale

The rest is here:

If you want to plug your product on Oprah’s last show, it’s going to cost you. The Oprah Winfrey Show is charging a whopping $1 million for a 30-second commercial on the big finale show on Wednesday, May 25th reports tvsquad.com . The $1 million price tag is nearly 18 times more than the show’s recent asking price of $57,400, as reported by Nielsen earlier in the season. While the Superbowl remains the most expensive TV show to advertise on (it cost $3 million for a 30-second spot on the last Superbowl), among regularly-scheduled TV shows, the 2004 series finale of Friends is STILL the most expensive — it cost $2 million for a 30-second commercial.

Taylor Momsen Calls Pretty Reckless’ Light Me Up ‘Honest’

‘I would consider myself a musician that also acts,’ the ‘Gossip Girl’ star tells MTV News. By Jocelyn Vena Taylor Momsen Photo: MTV News Taylor Momsen has been teasing fans for quite some time now about her debut album . This week, she and the Pretty Reckless finally dropped Light Me Up, a searing rock album that features the “Gossip Girl” star growling over guitars. Momsen said she’s been talking about it so much that finally having it out is still kind of unbelievable. “It doesn’t exactly feel real yet. I’ve been talking about it for a long time,” she told MTV News. “I’m very excited for people to hear it.” Momsen has had a big task as she pushes to get people to hear the album. She needs to somehow convince the world that she isn’t just another starlet thinking it might be cool to release an album. For her, music is what it’s really all about. “It’s still something I have to overcome,” she explained. “I don’t think it’s fully transitioned. I would consider myself a musician that also acts. I’ve been writing songs since I was 5. It’s the thing that I chose for myself. I wasn’t put into it. I made the decision and couldn’t live without it, and hopefully people will give the record a chance and they’ll hear that. They’ll hear that it’s not some side vanity project [but] that I really, really worked on it for a long time, really my whole life.” While many of her peers in La La Land have opted to release more top 40-friendly tunes, Momsen has embraced grunge alt. “I wouldn’t have ever put out a dance record and probably never will,” she said. “I think there’s a place for all types of music, but it’s not my cup of tea. “I love classic rock,” she continued. “What I love about music is I love playing. That’s what I loved about music to begin with; that’s what I fell in love with. It was the rawness and hearing the imperfections and having the imperfections be what makes it so unique and honest. I really wanted to make an honest record. That was the outlook that kept me sane and honest.” Out of the 11 tracks on the record, Momsen said she can’t really nail down her favorite. “I think there’s something for everyone on the record,” she said. “There was no real formula to the way that we wrote. It’s hard to define that, but ‘Make Me Wanna Die’ [is my favorite song] if I had to pick one. It was the first song written for the record, so it kind of defined the direction.” Related Artists Taylor Momsen

‘X Factor’ Judge L.A. Reid Hints At Another Record Label Gig

‘I’m nobody’s fool, I didn’t give up my day job,’ former Universal exec tells Hot 97 of Sony rumors. By Alvin Blanco, with reporting by Jim Cantiello L.A. Reid Photo: Jason Merritt/ Getty Images Could L.A. Reid have another music executive gig up his sleeve? The music mogul resigned from his chairman post at Island Def Jam to become a judge on Simon Cowell’s “X Factor,” but he’s been dropping hints that he hasn’t completely abandoned the record label boardroom. When MTV News asked Reid whether the relationship “X Factor” has with Sony Music — the winner will get a recording contract from the label — means he may be taking on an executive role at the company in the near future, he didn’t totally dismiss the notion. “You’re good, you are so good, you’re good, let’s have that conversation another time,” Reid coyly told us. “Just hold that one for a little while; slow down, pal.” On Tuesday, during a phone interview with Hot 97’s Angie Martinez, Reid dodged a similar question from the radio personality while also noting that his gig on “X Factor” is only one of his gigs and “just a little bit of a shift.” “Listen, I’m nobody’s fool, I didn’t give up my day job,” Reid told Martinez. “I had to leave Universal Music Group and try my hat on someplace else that we’ll announce. We’ll announce that one in a little while.” While at Def Jam Reid, reported to Doug Morris, who recently left his post as chairman of the Universal Music Group. Morris will formally assume the role of CEO of Sony Music on July 1. Besides a recording contract from Sony Music, the eventual winner of “X Factor” will take home $5 million in cash. Cowell, Reid and the rest of the still-unannounced judges will be seeking artists with astronomical talents to match that windfall. “I’m personally looking for artists that are along the lines of today’s pop stars,” Reid said. “Whether it be a Rihanna or a Justin Bieber or a Kanye West or a Beyonc

Break-Ups & Make-Ups: Our Favorite, Most Notorious Celebrity Couples

Visit link:

Take a look at our favorite celebrity couples that are, that were, that can’t seem to decide between make-up and break-up, and even those that keep the entire thing under wraps. Diddy and Cassie Rumors about Sean “Diddy” Combs being romantically linked to singer Cassie Ventura circulated for years. Neither Cassie nor Diddy have confirmed or denied directly, but the two have been photographed extensively together and hints on Twitter leave most of us convinced the two are dating. Tabloids began reporting the couple’s engagement in 2008, but Combs’ reps quickly squashed the story, saying it was a complete fabrication. I guess we’ll just have to stay tuned! Cassie Spotted Shopping With Diddy’s Mom In Beverly Hills [PHOTOS] Nelly and Ashanti Nelly and Ashanti took great pains to remain hush-hush and avoid confirming their relationship over the few years they were continually spotted together. The two were constantly photographed out and about together, kissing, holding hands and cuddling, but both parties continued to claim they were “just friends”. They both remained committed first and foremost to their careers while still making time to enjoy each other’s company. Nelly’s made it clear he only wants to get married once: Will Ashanti be the one? Ashanti Reveals How She & Nelly Met For His “Behind The Music” Special Usher and Tameka Foster Usher and on-again, off-again love Tameka Foster’s relationship was riddled with drama. The couple was engaged in 2007. Foster brought three children into the marriage from two different men and was the subject of scorn by many gossip outlets and fans. After canceling their first wedding planned for July 2007, the couple was ultimately married in August 2007. Tameka suffered a cardiac arrest before going under the knife in Sao Paolo for cosmetic surgery. The couple had two children together, but filed for divorce in June 2009 after being estranged for nearly a year. For those of you counting: If that timing is true, the couple spent almost half of their 2 year marriage apart. Christina Milian and The-Dream Christina Milian and The-Dream wed in Vegas in September 2009. Christina gave birth to their daughter, Violet, in March 2010 as rumors of their failing relationship began to circulate. According to statements by the couple, they had already decided to call it quits as of late 2009, but did not share those plans publicly in an effort to protect their daughter. Photos of The-Dream canoodling in the Caribbean with his assistant, Melissa Santiago, surfaced and the fact that he wasn’t wearing his wedding band at the time confirmed the splitsville rumors were true. Is Christina Milian Back With Her Ex-Husband The Dream? Nas and Kelis Musical power-couple Nas and Kelis met at the MTV Video Music awards in 2002 and quickly made things official by marrying in Atlanta in July of 2005. The couple was expecting their first child in 2009, but a seven-months-pregnant Kelis filed for divorce. The couple was surrounded by scandal at the end of their relationship when a sex tape portraying Kelis with another man was sent in to the Wendy Williams Show. Adding fuel to the tabloid fire, Kelis gave birth to a baby boy on July 21, 2009 while her estranged hubby was out partying in the Queensbridge Projects. Two wrongs don’t make a right, but they do make it dunzo. Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon This May/November romance had many skeptics claiming it couldn’t last, but one $2.5 million diamond engagement ring and twin boys later, Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are still going strong. With no formal engagement announcement or confirmation, Cannon and Carey married in the Bahamas in April 2008. The couple renewed their vows for their two-year anniversary — marking the occasion with an even bigger engagement ring replacement — and are expecting twins in May 2011. Mariah Carey’s Topless & Pregnant Shoot [PHOTO] Kanye West and Alexis Phifer Kanye West had a rough go of it in 2007 and 2008. In addition to dealing with his mother’s death, West broke off his engagement with long-time girlfriend Alexis Phifer. West and Phifer had been dating on and off since 2002 and got engaged shortly after Donda West’s sudden death. Kanye became consumed by plans for this Glow in the Dark tour, however, and the relationship suffered for it and the couple split in April of 2008. While we didn’t get to see a what a Yeezy wedding would look like, we did get 808’s and Heartbreaks. Rihanna and Chris Brown The domestic abuse scandal between Rihanna and Chris Brown began on Grammy night 2009 and the exes still manage to make headlines. R&B royalty in their own right, the couple stepped out together in 2007 but remained coy about the status of their relationship. Sources told gossip mags the couple had hit a “bumpy patch” in February 2009 but no one could have anticipated how far it would go. Brown pleaded guilty to felony assault charges and cannot come within 50 yards of RiRi.
